Oregon representative Carolyn Tomei, a Democrat, says she didn't think "anyone would notice" when she came up with a revision to the Pledge of Allegiance  swapping out "one nation under God" for the groovier, if less traditional, "one nation under love." Conservative bloggers picked up on the change when Tomei led the Oregon House in reciting the pledge this week....

A spokesperson for the Oregon House Speaker downplayed the dust-up: "My hope is that this is the last time I talk about it."

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love - I John 4:8.

So if it is "one nation under God" or "one nation under love", it's the same thing. Of course, liberals think they are expunging God when they come up with tripe like this so they really don't what they are speaking about.

Would Ms. Tomei have a problem with "one political collective under God" or is the word "nation" more important to her?

“Interesting that Democrats always appear about to burst into flames when confronted with God.”

In this increasingly secular (even beyond that: anti-religious) country, what they do to the old symbols and songs of the old Republic mean less & less to me. If Obama and his ilk are what “American” stands for, they can have it. Christians have many of their own symbols and songs they can rally around; they have no place in this country that is becoming increasingly freaky.
